California Wolf Center is a one-of-a-kind education, conservation, and research center near Julian. Founded in 1977 to educate the public about wildlife and ecology, the center is home to several packs of gray wolves, some of which are exhibited for educational purposes.

“Our wolves serve as ambassadors representing the wolves in the wild,” reads a statement from the center. “We also host highly endangered Mexican gray wolves, now being reintroduced into the southwestern United States. A visit to the center provides a unique experience involving one of the most charismatic and controversial species in North American history.”

The order of events for the meeting will be: Social time at 11 a.m., call to order at 11:30, luncheon at noon, and the program at 1 p.m.
